In a moment the deep known unknown collide, captured by a dome of muffled silence within a swirling sea of chaos and metal and a bloodied scull on asphalt. Eternity painfully binds itself into a slow timelessness, outside the laws of nature into a cacophony of tears and blackouts and crying the impossible into existence.Continue reading “Death Of A Brother”

End Of The World (Boarding School)
The world ended at dusk on a Sunday. A mournful dusty red sun slowly dying behind a cold silver barbed wire fence. The child fractured into two at twilight. A free barefooted spirit plays on a farm as his clenched jawed mirror splinters. The fabric that is love ruined in summer. A slender, muted coloured,Continue reading “End Of The World (Boarding School)”
Empty
The bluest forever eyes built me a home from little make believe pieces of eternity. In the soft glow of a brittle brick fireplace undressed my scar riddled vulnerability. It took a quilt sewn together with laughter to warm my soul in exchange for a heart. The fullest round bending forever lips left soft chocolateContinue reading “Empty”

Dark cold and abandoned corners swirling in flames of fiery passion. Life builds bridges for the future with the tearful bricks of failure. It stubbornly refuses hopelessness with bright green shoots in blackContinue reading “Life”
I Imagined
I imagined the way I would rise even before I fell I had vivid visions of forgiveness before the pain struck When the storm clouds formed the sun already broke through When tears welled up in my eyes A smile spread on my lips I saw the beautiful hidden soul when judge and jury condemned
The Funeral
Bells of pure and ornate crafted gold, cast their hypnotic vibrating spells on the hollow silence of a red brick hall. Soft remnants of fragrant grey clouds drift up with slow ease, from incense, to the open air of dark wooden beams. Light breaks into fragmented colours, from a single enchanting mosaic window, onto aContinue reading “The Funeral “
Falling asleep
The palm of my hand rest gently on my hip bone On the border of the thin blanket and naked skin A faint light peaks into the dark room The slow breeze from an obscured fan softly touches the skin of my outstretched arm Lying alone motionless in the place where you should be BreathingContinue reading “Falling asleep “
Clues
I’m forever speaking Writing Leaving clues like breadcrumbs Praying to the nonexistent god That someone will see and then find me.
